Cooking Steps

Roast the Celeriac
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Peel and trim the celeriac. Cut into 2cm chunks.

Place the celeriac on a large baking tray, drizzle with oil, sprinkle over the curry powder and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.

When the oven is hot, bake on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins.

Fry the Chicken and Bacon
2

Meanwhile, trim the carrot, then quarter lengthways (no need to peel). Chop widthways into small pieces. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large saucepan on medium-high heat.

Once hot, add the diced chicken, bacon lardons and carrot. TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh.

Stir-fry until the chicken is golden brown on the outside and the carrot is tender, 8-10 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat. The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle. Cook bacon thoroughly.

Add the Flavour
3

Once the chicken and bacon has cooked, stir in the garlic and mixed herbs. Stir-fry for 1 min. 

Roux Time
4

Stir in the flour (see pantry for amount) into the bacon and carrot. Cook until it forms a paste, 1-2 mins - you've made a roux!

Stir in the water for the sauce (see pantry for amount) a little at a time, followed by the red wine jus paste and the chicken stock paste. TIP: If your red wine jus paste has hardened, put the sachet in a bowl of hot water for 1 min to loosen.

Bring to the boil, then simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly, 4-5 mins. 

Meanwhile, halve the ciabatta.

Stir Together
5

Once the celeriac has roasted, stir it into the stew along with the onion marmalade. 

Simmer until everything's piping hot, 1-2 mins. 

Taste the stew and season with an extra pinch of salt and pepper if needed. 

Toast the ciabatta halves in your toaster until golden.

Serve
6

Share your chicken, bacon and celeriac stew between bowls. Spoon dollops of soured cream on top. 

Serve with the toasted ciabatta on the side for dipping.
